Family of murdered man traced by gardaí

GARDAÍ investigating the murder of a British man in West Cork have traced his relatives in England.

Inspector Brendan Fogarty confirmed yesterday that detectives have made contact with John Forrester’s extended family in the Blackpool and Lincoln areas. But he said gardaí are still liaising with diplomats in the British embassy in Dublin, and with Interpol, to trace “as close a relative as possible”.

Gardaí confirmed last night that a family liaison officer has been appointed.
